Chapter 147: Chapter 147
WONHEE’S Status Window popped up as soon as Soobin carefully put her down.
[GUIDE CHU WONHEE, PURIFYING HUNTER LEE SEODAM IS SIMILAR TO GUIDING! PHYSICAL CONTACT IS A MUST! DON’T BE SCARED OF THE FOG! WE WILL ACTIVATE THE TO KEEP YOU SAFE.]
It sounded like it was a message sent by Tannie.
But it also sounded urgent, so she immediately ran towards Lee Seodam without greeting anyone first.
[I’m sorry, I’m in a hurry.]
"System," Wonhee whispered softly, stopping in her tracks when she met Lee Seodam’s glowing red eyes. "Please activate the . Thank you."
After all, Seodam’s glowing red eyes reminded her of the time he pushed her into the whirlpool.
But, fortunately, he wasn’t moving an inch.
Even so, she waited until a faint glowing cube trapped her and Seodam inside.
Wonhee only moved when the System confirmed that the was now activated.
[No one can hurt me here, especially the ones who didn’t sign the Guestbook.]
"Seodam-ssi, do you recognize me?"
"W-Wonhee," Seodam said in a rough voice. "Chu Wonhee..."
[It looks like he’s still in his right mind.]
"Yes, it’s me," Wonhee said, squatting down in front of Seodam carefully. She was glad she wore pants and comfortable shoes. "Is the Virus trying to possess your body again?"
"I can still control it, but it will be safer for you if you stay away from me, Wonhee-ya. I don’t think I can fight it longer," he said, shutting his eyes tight. "It’s worse than the Static."
She could see that Seodam was really suffering.
It was hard to see that.
Not because she still had feelings for Seodam, but simply because she was a decent human being who had empathy for others.
[And I’m just doing my work.]
"I’m here to help you, Seodam-ssi," Wonhee said, extending her hands to Seodam. "Please hold my hands."
She was about to pull his hands and just apologize later because it was an emergency.
Fortunately, she didn’t have to do that.
Seodam opened his eyes. They were still red, but at least, he looked calm now. He hesitated at first, but he quickly held Wonhee’s hands when he gathered the courage to do so.
[Seodam-ssi’s hands are pretty cold.]
But, soon, the warmth coming from Wonhee’s hands spread through Seodam’s hands.
She also noticed that the dark fog emitting from his body started to decrease significantly until it completely disappeared.
Her Status Window suddenly popped up.
[GOOD JOB, GUIDE CHU WONHEE!
By purifying Hunter Lee Seodam’s body, you’re helping him build resistance against the Virus. Your ’deletes’ the remnants of the Virus left after Hunter Lee Seodam got possessed for the first time!]
Wonhee realized that she got another skill.
Then wouldn’t that mean Lee Seodam wouldn’t be the host of the Virus again?
As if on cue, her Status Window popped up and answered her question.
[Unfortunately, Guide Chu Wonhee’s is still an S-Grade Skill! In order to completely eradicate the remnants of the Virus in one go, you need to upgrade the skill to L-Grade!
For now, your skill is only good enough to stop the Virus from possessing Hunter Lee Seodam’s body!
But you must hurry and upgrade your !
The Virus would get stronger soon!]
So, Wonhee must level up her before the Virus could catch up to her.
[You just need to use the on Hunter Lee Seodam every time the symptoms of getting possessed by the Virus come out!
The first symptom would always be the dark fog!
Then his red eyes! Hunter Lee Seodam’s eyes turn red when he’s out of Mana, but it’s different when his body emits dark fog! Be observant!]
Ah. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novｅlfire.net
So, Wonhee was supposed to stay close to Lee Seodam until the remnants disappeared.
[I don’t know what to feel about this.]
"Wonhee-ya, you can stop now."
She got distracted because her Status Window appeared while Lee Seodam was talking.
Wonhee turned to Lee Seodam to see if he was alright now.
Lee Seodam’s eyes had returned to its normal amber color, and he also looked like he was now sober. "Your nose is bleeding..."
Before Wonhee could check if her nose was really bleeding, she was startled by what happened next.
Yejun suddenly appeared behind Lee Seodam and grabbed the latter by the nape.
And then Yejun flung Lee Seodam effortlessly across the room.
"Are you alright, Wonhee-ya?" Yejun asked worriedly, kneeling in front of her. "Lean forward and pinch your nose first. I’ll get you a potion."
"I’m fine," Wonhee said, but she did was she was told to stop her nosebleed. "Yejun-ah, we don’t throw innocent people across the room, okay?"
"The fake carnivore forfeited his right as a human being when he hurt you–"
Wonhee let out a sigh. "Hwang Yejun."
"Yes, ma’am," Yejun said obediently while opening the lid of a health potion. "As long as said human doesn’t harm you, that is."
Wonhee felt sleepy even though she had just woken up after fainting in the dungeon.
[I might have exhausted my Mana Tank.]
"Wonhee-ya, thank you."
To be honest, Wonhee didn’t expect to hear a ’thank you’ from Lee Seodam.
But it still felt great.
[I guess there’s nothing wrong if you want to be credited for your hard work.]
"And I’m sorry," Seodam added in a voice full of guilt. "I’m sorry for being weak enough to be possessed by the Virus. Because of me, you almost died. I’m truly sorry about that, Wonhee-ya."
"It wasn’t your fault, Seodam-ssi," Wonhee said. "But thank you for apologizing. I accept it."
Lee Seodam looked like he had something else to say, but Hwang Yejun cleared his throat.
[Of course, I’m not alone.]
Semi, Soobin, Graham, and Song Moonho already left Park Ruda’s apartment. The four headed to the Blue House to check on the problem that Graham discovered there.
Only Yejun was left by Wonhee’s side.
"Wonhee-ya, you look sleepy," Yejun said. "We should go home."
"Okay," Wonhee said, and then she turned to Park Ruda who was standing next to Lee Seodam. "Ruda-ssi, I remember it now."
Park Ruda, naturally, looked confused.
[Or is he just acting clueless?]
"I guess I’m stronger now, so I finally remember," Wonhee said vaguely. "Let’s talk again soon."
